I believe if you convert to Christianity then change your name to a Christian name like Winston Benjamin but don't call yourself Beharry or Luckoo for example when you are no longer a Hindu 

I have always believed that religion comes from within regardless of what you're born into or call yourself. The Canadian Mission Church was notorious for forcing people to convert if they wanted jobs. I know many who converted. Some in name and some who became more "religious" than the Canadian Church itself and milked it for whatever they could. What if you had a family to support, converting nominally was your only option AND you maintained your beliefs?
